Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

Although my time travel was a bit difficult in the early stages, my bloodline seems to be pretty good...

However, recalling that his predecessor was confined in the house for more than ten years, Gooden frowned slightly and then asked.

Your Majesty is excused for not seeing me when he is busy with everything, but what about my mother?

When asked about this, Old Joseph was silent for a while and said in a complicated tone.

Your mother unfortunately passed away when she gave birth to you, and she has no real title, so you can be regarded as His Majesty's illegitimate son.

Three of the eighteen princes and princesses currently known were born as illegitimate children. His Majesty will not conceal the abandonment of his own children, but...

Speaking of this, Old Joseph glanced at Gudern and continued bravely.

But there is a premise, that is, the qualifications must be passable, but the talent you tested when you were young...

At this point, Old Joseph didn't need to say anything, Gudern already knew what was going on.

His previous talent and qualifications were that of a useless fighter. As the emperor of a country, he was still a legend. The children he gave birth to were so bad, and his mother was taken away when he was born.

No one would be very fond of him at this time. Instead of confining him to one place until he died of old age, he was sent out to become a lord in a border town, which was already considered a good thing.

Master, with your current talents, if you return to the royal capital, your position as prince will definitely be restored, and you will still have a chance to become a candidate for the throne...

Don't, don't, don't go back!

Hearing Old Joseph's words, Gudern was frightened and waved his hands quickly.

Although he didn't know what the situation was like in the capital, he was definitely not as comfortable as he was in Qingyuan Town.

Looking at Gudern's appearance, Old Joseph felt a little strange.

Doesn't the young master not want to go back and inherit the throne of the prince?

Dual professions, three months of magic learning to reach the intermediate level, and one month of knight training to reach the elementary level.

With this kind of talent, as long as he returns to the royal family, he will definitely become the seventh candidate for the throne.

It is impossible to return to the royal capital. It is impossible to return to the royal capital in this life. Where can I stay comfortably in Qingyuan Town in the royal capital? The old man here... ahem... In short, I am not interested in the position of prince. I am not interested in the heir to the throne either.

I'm just curious about the identity now, not the position. Don't mention it again in the future.

Gudern waved, indicating not to talk about this topic.

Yes, Master. Old Joseph saw this and stopped mentioning it.

By the way, among the princes and princesses, where do I rank in age?

According to your age, you should be the eighth prince. Old Joseph made a slight calculation in his mind and said honestly.

Eighth place?

Gudern was also a little surprised to hear that he was in the front row, but he did not continue to ask, but changed the topic.

By the way, Old Joseph, if your Majesty knows about my talent and strength, but I don't want to go back, can your Majesty directly pass the throne to me in this case?

Hearing the young master's words, Old Joseph couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Why is the young master so confident? But he still answered his questions seriously.

No, the throne can only be chosen among the heirs to the throne, and the minimum standard for becoming a heir to the throne is to have the hope of reaching a legend.

To inherit the throne, you must be a legend. Although you have the talent to become the heir, as long as you do not return to the capital to accept the position of prince, according to the laws of the empire, you cannot inherit the throne.

Hearing this, Gudern couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From now on, he has decided that he will never return to the royal capital!

But... At this moment, Old Joseph suddenly changed his words.

But in accordance with the decree left by His Majesty the late Emperor Aurelius Aldea, if all the candidates for the succession to the throne die, and there is no candidate successor among the existing princes, and His Majesty's deadline is approaching, you can directly Directly appoint one of the descendants to be the heir, even if it is three generations later, or an illegitimate child from a side branch, as long as he has royal blood, he can inherit directly.

Of course, this possibility is extremely slim. Back then, the late emperor also made the arrangement because he was worried about the worst case scenario later.

In today's prosperous age of the empire, there are currently six princes and princesses, the lowest of which is master level. They hold important positions and protect each other in various places. It is difficult for them to fall at the same time. In addition, His Majesty has only been on the throne for thirty years. There is still a long time to come. It is very difficult to appear. Things you’re worried about.”

After hearing Old Joseph's explanation, his heart that had just been raised again slowly fell back.

If there were so many coincidences that happened to him, it could only be said that it was God's will for him to inherit them.

Putting this matter behind him, Gudern then sent Old Joseph away after briefly asking some questions.

After learning about his life experience, Gudern didn't make many waves in his heart.

Although it was a bit surprising at first, after learning about it, I didn’t think much about this identity.

He picked up the imperial history book on the table again and continued to read it with interest.

…

Star calendar October 1st.

According to the seasons, autumn has passed and the cold winter has arrived.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, the highest temperature in the entire Qingyuan Ridge has dropped to less than ten degrees.

If we continue at this rate, it will be inevitable that the temperature will drop below zero in another month.

In the past, the method of heating was to gather around the stove to warm up, but with the advent of heating and floor heating, the entire castle, and even most of Qingyuan Town, was filled with heat.

When the castle's renovation work was completed with the first batch of equipment, Gudern personally controlled the magic.

Hot water, purified drinking water, heating, etc., as long as they are modern things, Gooden has installed them all, and even reserved circuit slots.

Although it is very convenient to use magic now, the negative losses caused by magic are a bit too much for him to bear. All the development of science and technology is still necessary.

At least the material consumption does not need to be replaced every month.

Corrosion caused by magic is inevitable. In order to prevent failure, all equipment must be replaced basically once a month.

Most of the discarded materials will be recycled and reset, but only half of the amount obtained will be obtained.

According to what Helisa said, this is a loss that will inevitably occur after elemental erosion. Unless magic metal is used, this problem can be avoided.

Compared to the high prices of magic metals, silver and copper are still very cheap.

At noon, when Gudern was happily dining with Helisha and Irene, a magic eagle flew in from the window.

Helisa casually used her magic hand to grab the magic eagle and took out the letter she carried.

Then he started floating in front of him and browsed what happened in the continent and the empire last month while eating.

As an extraordinary mage, Helisa still needs to pay attention to the information of the empire and even the continent in real time. This letter was sent from the magic academy.

And when she browsed to the last message, she couldn't help but pause with the chopsticks in her hand, and then she looked up at Gudern.

What's wrong?

Gudern noticed Helisa's condition and asked casually.

When the first candidate heir to the throne, the eldest prince, led a team to inspect the border, he was assassinated by an orc and died on the spot. His Majesty has ordered the northern border to be sealed off and officially declared war on the Astor Empire.

What?

Upon hearing the news, Gudern couldn't help but be stunned.

The eldest prince suddenly died in the border battle?

Or the first candidate to succeed to the throne?

Recalling what Old Joseph said yesterday, Gudern showed a strange look on his face.

This guy...doesn't he have the same open mouth as Anna?

He had heard about the eldest prince's inspection of the frontier to prepare for war as early as mid-August.

And now that he was suddenly assassinated and killed in battle...it feels strange no matter how you think about it.

After all, as the first succession candidate, he would definitely have a lot of protection around him. He would definitely not believe that Gudern could be killed so easily.

The war is about to begin, and the issue on Qingyuan Ridge has not been resolved yet. You should be more careful in the coming time.

Helisa didn't know much about this kind of royal matter, so she just gave the instructions casually.

After all, Gudern is considered half of her student, so it is necessary to care about him.

Yes, I understand. After nodding in response, Gudern's mind immediately drifted away.

He originally thought that the war would officially break out in the spring of the following year, but he did not expect it to come so suddenly.

The problem of Qingyuan Ridge mentioned by Helisa refers to the escaped Charlieson family and the unknown orc shaman.

After a hurried lunch, Gudern immediately summoned personnel to prepare corresponding responses.

In less than a quarter of an hour, in the hall of the castle, all the heads of various departments in the town arrived on time.

Old Joseph is responsible for coordinating government affairs, Kroger is responsible for the general affairs department of Qingyuan Town, Roy is responsible for the intelligence department, and Els and Hobert are the chief officers of the army.

Buck, Pansy and Eden from the Engineering Research Institute, the heads of the three engineering construction teams, the heads of factory operations, etc.

Even Dedaluo, the captain of the 3rd Cavalry Battalion of Kanehara City, participated in this meeting.

Since they rejected Walsh's request to be stationed last time, the upper echelons of the military directly promoted Dedalo from the original detachment captain to the group captain in order to avoid accidents.

At the same time, more than a hundred new people were stationed in Qingyuan Town, under the direct command of Gudern.

Gooden didn't say much about such changes. After all, they were really here to help him.

With the arrival of Gudern, everyone who was still chatting and learning about the meeting fell silent.

This was the first time a meeting of this level had been held in history. No one knew what Gudern was going to announce. Even old Joseph, a close confidant who followed the young master, did not get any information.

Looking at the people sitting down, Gudern also sighed in his heart. In just three months, he had already arranged a simple team.

After they get familiar with it in the future, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper and play by himself.

But now, he had to start announcing the news he had just received and start making preventive preparations.

I just received news that the eldest prince, the first heir to the throne, was attacked and ambushed by orcs while patrolling the border, and died in battle on the border. His Majesty has officially declared war on the Astor Empire, and the war will begin soon.

When everyone heard the news, everyone had a look of shock on their faces.

The death of the eldest prince in battle was a shocking news to them. After all, he was the first heir to the throne.

The empire had been established for nearly a thousand years, and although some heirs to the throne had died in the process, the first heir had never died in battle.

Except for the first generation, four of the remaining seven emperors in the past were succeeded by the first heir, one of the other three was deposed, and the other two were the heirs who were later in talent and strength. Therefore, Stand out and inherit.

But under normal circumstances, the first heir is almost certain to be the next emperor, but now he was assassinated and killed by a foreign enemy while patrolling the border.
